When resuming playback of a movie, it would be nice to have a way to see how much was played earlier and how much remaining playback time there is without actually starting the movie. I have searched the tag list without finding any such info, even if the information must be stored somewhere since a movie (usually, not always) resumes at last stop position.
Is there a way to display this info (in standard view)?
And wouldn't it be great to have a progress bar displayed below the thumbnails that showed the last stop position and revealed playback time, last stop time and remaining time on mouseover?

i use this in thv info panel, but works also in standard view
If(IsEqual([Bookmark],),,FormatDuration(Math([Bookmark]/1000)) // [Duration])it gives how far in the movie playback was stopped, and how long the movie is in total.
but this does not work with dvd, vob files.

Thanks a lot, I'll give it a go and I hope it will work with mkv.
It will be my first attempt at expressions. After reading quite a lot about expressions, my impression is that once tried, there's no going back :)
Still would be nice to have this graphical progress bar connected to a thumbnail.

:) indeed no way to go back. and a lot of fun ahead.
maybe i should also explain about the previous expression that it will only showup if there is a bookmark. but it can be changed to any liking.
here is an other option
BM on formatnumber(math((([bookmark]/1000)//[duration,0])*100))% of [duration]
shows the % seen of a movie.
im doing this with mkv's. that it does not work with dvd's is because of the different movies and trailers and stuff on a dvd, the bookmark is much more complex.

It works, thanks a lot!
As you say, it requires a bookmark. And I always watch an mkv once created to make sure everything is ok before I delete the individual stream files. Which again means I get a bookmark >0 for all my mkvs before starting to watch it. But this bookmark is usually low, and your method does the job.

How do I set it up? Where do I paste the code??

Never mind. I figured it out. But I'll save others who are interested some wasted time searching the Wiki (which only leads to a page that doesn't exist).
Options -> Library & Folders -> Manage Library Fields -> Add New Field -> Calculated Data.

That's one place. But you can also paste the expression directly into the Customize file info panel ... area in Tools > Options > Theater View
